Fox's History of QLD is like the Cyclopedias that were published for most states of Australia around the beginning of the 20th Century which are a vast resource of historical and biographical information on the state concerned - the people, towns, industries, professional, commercial and social institutions and much more. Fox's History of Queensland is the largest of these publications and is very rare; the original set can cost as much as $3000.

This comprehensive Queensland resource includes information ranging from flora and fauna to industry, from geology and history to politics as well as information relevant to the day on schools, hospitals, infrastructure and farming. It includes a large section on the major towns and regions and homesteads throughout Queensland as well as a large number of biographies on influential and ordinary citizens throughout the community. The three volumes are scattered throughout with thousands of illustrations, a large number of these being photos of people as well as places, buildings, and scenes from the past.

This CD includes searchable facsimile images of the entire three volumes of Fox's History of Queensland and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of that state.
